I too admit to never ever having thought to name a car, other than perhaps swearing at it, but I have never sworn at my Morgan in all the time I have owned it.. (-:

If it became law to identify my Morgan in addition to the badge on it`s cowl, I suspect Mistress may be applicable given it ever brings a degree of excitement and variety into my life when I sit in it ready for the off. My +8 costs less than the upkeep of a mistress (I`m reliably informed). Should any of the many likely issues arise from having a mistress of the human variety, Morgan issues can be resolved with a few tools, which seems preferable than the costs of lawyers and settlements....!!! For sure A Morgan mistress would seem to be much less fuss and bother.... especially a pre-digital one... laugh2
